Filtery, Fluttery Butterflies

Watch butterflies flutter outdoors, then make your own with coffee filters.

1.

Butterflies' dazzling colors twist and turn. We can't touch these fragile creatures, but you can make one for a decoration.

2.

Cover your art area with newspaper. Use your Crayola® Paint Brush to wet a coffee filter. Paint the filter with Crayola Washable Watercolors. The colors will blend and mix into beautiful patterns. Decorate a spring clothespin with the paint, too. Air dry.

3.

Gather your coffee filter together in the middle. Hold it together with the clothespin.

4.

Curl a long twist tie to look like antennae. Twist it around the clothespin.
